    After Us is, in every sense of the word, an independent game in its production, gameplay and narrative. It’s a title with a powerful message that everyone will be able to play and understand, but not necessarily enjoy. After Us wants (and actually succeeds) to convey a very concrete message about the calamities of the modern world, our disconnection with nature and primal energies. However, this powerful message partly hinders the experience and fun of the game, which suits it well, but it can take a while to capture attention.

    After Us features a sprawling, desolate world painstakingly crafted to show the destruction wrought by human greed, but its camera controls and level design make the platforming awkward and often frustrating.

    After Us had some lofty goals and it shows but sadly, they didn’t quite reach those highs. Incredible art direction and a dope soundtrack sadly don’t make up for the ‘tacked’ on combat and the very floaty platforming controls. The design choice to make it open world is also a head scratcher because the game absolutely does a poor job of telling players where to go next. I’m left wondering what could have been with After Us, had the combat been taken out I think this would have been a much better adventure.
